Artist Bio

Bleachers are associated with New Jersey / New York and launched in 2014 as Jack Antonoff’s primary band project. Their music is known for heartland rock, synth-pop, New Wave, and large-scale singalong songwriting. Strange Desire introduced “I Wanna Get Better,” and later albums including Gone Now and Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night developed the project’s nostalgic but personal sound. Across their career, the project has built its reputation through a combination of recorded work and live performance, making them a recognizable presence in the alternative, rock, or festival world relevant to this forecast.
